Description
Here is what some of Ani’s students said recently following her two day silk scarf workshop at OAS:
“I really enjoyed the silk painting workshop and can’t wait for more of them. Ani was wonderful and well prepared. She provided great information before, during and after class. She was very attentive and guided each one of us throughout the process, while giving personalized suggestions. Her expertise was very valuable and she could pinpoint any potential problems before they happened. I liked that all the supplies were included. It makes things a lot easier. I also liked that we had the option to choose our own subject.Thank you for offering this workshop!”
“I took the two day workshop to learn painting on a silk scarf with Ani….I loved learning this technique! I had not taken any classes through OAS before, but I would certainly like to take more classes after this experience. Ani is an excellent instructor…taking us through the techniques and steps very clearly and made it all seem possible. She was always very encouraging. She supplied everything we needed, and assisted with our designs, mixing colours, and application of the paints when needed. My scarf turned out beautifully, and I will be wearing it with pride. I learned a lot and would certainly work on another scarf on my own. I would certainly recommend taking this workshop, and I would sign up for another class. Thanks!”
